  • 80% of our work load is vintage and imported vehicles, 20% consists of domestic vehicles.
  • We are State Certified “Emission Repair Facility”. *We do NOT offer emissions testing at our shop. We believe to be both a test facility and repair facility is a conflict of interest. However- if you have recently failed an emissions test, we can provide the state certified repairs (or waiver) you may need to become eligible to pass.

  •     High tech diagnostic scan tools and diagnostic laptop computer
